I felt it was a logical sequence. It is just the next day after they came back from jungle, and he couldn't have said such truth just after coming back (on the same day). He gave her time to rejoice with her family and friends. Next day at office he can't discuss such serious personal matter, hence he took the first opportunity, that's the evening after work. He accepted her friendship and he knows Ananya would expect him now to help in her father's case. Intead of waiting for her to initiate the topic, he took the initiative, which is the right thing to do.
Moreover he didn't sugar coat the truth or didn't try to soften the blow by leading her with some nice compliments first. The truth as he sees came out, which is Kabir Sharma style. Such bitter truths can never be sugarcoated.. Sweetening the truth would only make it loose the sincerity of the teller (Kabir here).
